reassign 590785 maxima
thanks
Hi Camm,
I do not really like your
> reassign 590785 postscript-viewer
For two reasons:
1. The problem *is* in maxima. Even assumed that there problem you
want others to fix it would remain in maxima. So please do not
try to get rid of it this way.
2. There is no such package like postscript-viewer and thus the
problem report would have simply vanished.

This is just wrong. I don't know tcl but my guess is that you perfectly
can check for the existence of /usr/bin/gv and if not exists check for
other postscript viewers - so just blaming Debian infractsucture for
not fixing a problem is wrong. It is even more wrong because there
actually is the tool you need and it is included in the mime-support
package. So you just need to make maxima depend from mime-support
and patch the script in question to call /usr/bin/see instead of
gv.
Just tell me if this is helpful for fixing the problem or whether you
need a patch.
Kind regards
Andreas.
